Whether we admit it or not, and we probably won't admit it, all of us men need the approval of our wives. Even those men who are naturally the most disobedient also long for the recognition of their "masculinity" from their lovely brides. Good women understand this and will praise their husbands, speak well of them, and strive to build up their husbands' self-esteem.
Where am I supposed to go? Please help me find someone to meet.
After studying these, I found that a man's wife should be the builder of his confidence, the builder of his courage, the builder of his boldness, and the builder of his audacity. In the present era when masculinity is under threat, men need their wives more than ever. A wife's trust in her husband makes him ecstatic and convinces him that he is invincible. Of course, deep down in our hearts we know we can't do it, but a good wife will give us the confidence to keep trying. Without this builder of confidence, men will become weak. We will never admit this.
But whether we admit it or not, without the approval of our wives, we will become weak. Weak men are one of the reasons for the breakdown of our families and marriages.
I'm not stupid and I don't want to start any disputes here. A happy marriage is much more than just the wife's approval of the husband. I know that some women reading this will scream into their phones: "What should the man do?" You're right. I promise, you're right. Of course, men will do certain things or not do certain things that make the wife feel weak. I'd love to hear your opinion.
The key point is: Unless we all embrace the teachings in the Bible regarding male and female traits, our marriages will continue to be weakened. Both men and women need to embrace His design, integrate it into our lives, and strive to embody His will in Christian marriages. Women are designed to be strong when men are weak and weak when men are strong. Marriage should be a partnership, not a competition for supremacy.
This should be a discussion post, so I will ask four questions:
1. How far do you think we are from the understanding of male and female traits as described in the Bible?
2. How does this affect our marriage?
3. From a female perspective, in which aspects do men not perform well?
4. How should we make up for these deficiencies?
